Most decent versions of Award BIOS let you tweak the latency.. from 0 (which
is, um, bad), to 255.
If you're worried about it, tweak it. ;-)
If you don't have a sassy BIOS, there are tools out there that you can tune it
with. (I'll try to dig 'em out and let ppl know where they are.. I vaguely
remember it being located on cs.helsinki's server)
